Importing Limits

[Bailey Kessing]

I seem to running into some type of importing limit, but am not sure what the limit is. What are other people's experience with importing 10s of millions of records. Limits? Thanks.

Latest MAC OS X version:

FM 8 chose not to import more than 51,200,000 records out of a tab delimited file of 84,000,000 after more than 24 hours.

It did this - amazingly - twice in a row.

I have had other instances where it chose to import only 7,300,000 out of a tab delimited file of 48,000,000 records.

NB: it did finish the import without crashing and proudly reported in a window: I have imported 51,200,000 records.

I have given up on trying to import. It's too finicky and time consuming.

Yeah, I am also getting results like this. Is it bit limited and not record limited?
